Job Description Position Summary: Plex, by Rockwell Automation, is the leading cloud‑based, multi‑tenant Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Quality Management System (QMS), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform for manufacturers, recognized as an MES market leader by multiple industry analysts. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager for Data & Integration to own and evolve the core platform capabilities that determine how Plex connects, secures, models, and moves data across the manufacturing ecosystem. This role is about enabling headless scale and interoperability—through secure APIs, modern identity and access management, event‑driven integrations, and a coherent data platform that customers, partners, and internal teams can confidently build upon. Reporting to the Group Product Manager for Platform, Data & AI , you will define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Plex's data and integration capabilities. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, and domain product teams to shape how Plex data is modeled, exposed, and consumed—by humans, systems, and increasingly by AI‑ and agent‑driven workflows. We are looking for strong systems thinking and technical fluency, paired with the ability to translate complex platform and infrastructure investments into clear customer value. You will play a central role in connecting Plex to the broader Rockwell Automation ecosystem and ensuring the platform is ready for the next generation of analytics, automation, and intelligent operations. Your Responsibilities: Lead the product vision, roadmap, and execution for Plex's Data & Integration platform, including APIs, events, identity and access management, integrations, and core data services. Evolve Plex's API and MCP strategy, ensuring secure and scalable access to platform capabilities for customers, partners, and internal development teams. Lead product strategy for event‑driven architecture, including how you produce, govern, and consume operational events across systems in near real-time. Promote a cohesive approach to data modeling and semantic layers, ensuring Plex data is well‑defined, discoverable, and reusable across operational workflows, analytics, integrations, and AI or agent‑based use cases. Own product direction for Identity and Access Management (IAM), including authentication, authorization, and fine‑grained access control, in close partnership with security and compliance teams. Define platform strategy for integrations and connectors, allowing seamless data exchange with enterprise IT systems, cloud platforms, analytics tools, and automation ecosystems. Own core data platform capabilities, including data archival, document storage, retention policies, and lifecycle management, aligned with customer needs and regulatory requirements. Collaborate with domain product teams (MES, QMS, ERP) to ensure data, events, and semantic definitions support their roadmaps and reduce fragmentation across the platform. Engage directly with customers, partners, sales, and stakeholders to understand integration challenges, validate priorities, and communicate platform strategy. Establish clear metrics to measure adoption, reliability, performance, and long‑term impact of data and integration capabilities. The Essentials – You Will Have: Bachelor's Degree. Legal authorization to work in the U.S. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening. Ability to travel, including internationally, up to 10% of time. The Preferred – You Might Also Have: Typically requires 8+ years of product management experience, including ownership of platform, data, or integration products in an enterprise SaaS (B2B) environment. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field; advanced degree (MBA, Master's). Experience creating and delivering clear customer‑facing messaging for platform capabilities, combined with direct enablement of sales, partners, and internal GTM teams to drive understanding and adoption. Experience with multiple API styles and integration patterns, including REST, GraphQL, OData, webhooks, and event‑based interfaces. Experience working with integration platforms (iPaaS) such as Boomi, MuleSoft, or similar technologies. Experience defining data models and semantic layers that support operational workflows, analytics, and AI or agent‑driven use cases. Prior experience supporting AI/ML or advanced analytics use cases, even if another team owned model development. Familiarity with concepts such as machine‑consumable APIs, observability, data quality, and feedback loops in automated or intelligent systems. Strong product discovery skills and comfort navigating ambiguity in interconnected technical domains. Experience working with enterprise or industrial customers, including IT/OT integration challenges.
